PVC6H102C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6H102C01B00 is a 1 kOhms 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, side adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications (1 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole mounting, PC pins, side adjustment, 1.0 turn).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (1 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1.0), adjustment type (side adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All three substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in resistive material (ceramic versus cermet), physical dimensions, and product status are noted but do not disqualify substitution when electrical performance and mounting compatibility are maintained.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability advantages over the obsolete PVC6H102C01B00. The 3362X-1-102LF (Bourns Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed series) maintains manufacturer continuity and offers sealed construction. The 72XR1KLF (TT Electronics/BI 72 series) and RJ-6X102 (Nidec Components Corporation RJ-6 series) provide alternative sourcing options. Physical dimension variations exist: the PVC6H102C01B00 measures 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm), the 3362X-1-102LF measures 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm), the 72XR1KLF measures 0.375" x 0.375" (9.53mm x 9.53mm), and the RJ-6X102 measures 0.276" x 0.260" (7.00mm x 6.60mm). PCB layout and mechanical clearance must accommodate these dimensional differences. All parts maintain identical electrical performance and mounting compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362X-1-102LF directly replace the PVC6H102C01B00? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (1 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole, PC pins, side adjustment, 1.0 turn). The 3362X-1-102LF is physically smaller (6.99mm x 6.60mm versus 8.00mm x 6.90mm) and uses cermet instead of ceramic resistive material, but these differences do not affect functional substitution.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these trimmers? A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters for this application. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) is used in the active substitute parts and provides sealed construction benefits. Ceramic is used in the obsolete PVC6H102C01B00. The choice between them depends on application-specific environmental and reliability requirements not specified in the core electrical parameters.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: Yes. The PVC6H102C01B00 is packaged in standard format. The 3362X-1-102LF is supplied in tubes. The 72XR1KLF and RJ-6X102 are supplied in bulk. Packaging affects handling, storage, and procurement logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability? A: All three substitutes are active products. The 3362X-1-102LF maintains Bourns manufacturer continuity and is part of the established Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed series. The 72XR1KLF and RJ-6X102 provide alternative sourcing from TT Electronics/BI and Nidec Components Corporation respectively.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same compliance standards? A: All four parts are ROHS3 compliant. The PVC6H102C01B00 is REACH unaffected. The 3362X-1-102LF is REACH affected. The 72XR1KLF and RJ-6X102 are REACH unaffected. Compliance requirements for your specific application determine which substitute is appropriate.

Q: What physical dimensions must I verify before substitution? A: The PVC6H102C01B00 face dimensions are 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm). The 3362X-1-102LF is 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm). The 72XR1KLF is 0.375" x 0.375" (9.53mm x 9.53mm). The RJ-6X102 is 0.276" x 0.260" (7.00mm x 6.60mm). PCB layout, mounting hole spacing, and mechanical clearance must accommodate the selected substitute's dimensions.
